Category:Coins of Canada

Images in this category are reproductions of coins that are or were in use in Canada. The Royal Canadian Mint owns the copyright of most designs of recent Canadian coins [1]. Crown copyright in Canada is 50 years after publication, so coin designs published after December 31, 1965 are under copyright in Canada and coin designs published after December 31, 1945 (50 years before 1996) are under copyright in the United States [2]. Therefore any image of Canadian coins whose designs were published after December 31, 1945 cannot be hosted on Commons. Images of coins published before that date can be hosted if the images (e.g. photographs) are free. See Commons:Currency for more information.
